The centaur is a creature in Might & Magic: Heroes VI. It is an Elite creature of the Stronghold faction, and its upgraded form is the centaur marauder.

Like the Harpies, Centaurs are Beastmen, created by the Wizards of the Seven Cities in the year 512 YSD. Half-human and half-horse, the Centaurs were originally given the menial tasks of carrying messages, pulling carts and working in the mines. They willingly joined the Revolt of the Orcs and scattered across the face of Ashan, seeking space, dignity, and freedom. They get along well with Orc tribes and have become their most valuable allies, out of common interest and like-mindedness.^OffBck

	Manoeuvre
Both our flanks were chasing centaurs and our lines grew too thin. When the center broke, the battle was over in three short breaths. The Wizards of the Seven Cities recorded numerous battle reports in the years following the Orc rebellion. These lines were of note, because the first to mention what would appear to demonstrate tactical intelligence on the behalf of the Centaurs. They refused to fight hand-to-hand combat, and chasing them down considerably weakened their enemy`s lines. The Centaur moves away from melee attackers and retaliates with her ranged attack.OffBck
	Vigilant Scout
	Charge with your shields raised high! This command usually means one thing: Imperial Sentinels are being asked to charge a contingent of Centaurs. The Centaur Beastmen were created by the Wizards of the Seven Cities originally to pull carts of supplies on the battlefield, but when trained as archers their true utility was quickly discovered. They are one of the best harassing units on all of Ashan, and it takes tactical expertise to outflank them. The Centaur gets a free shot on the first enemy stack entering within half range of her.OffBck
